    S197 2005 Coyote ST3 Build

    Thanks. I believe you need to swap the entire front end, hood and fenders included. This was done to my car before I purchased it. I will say the fenders and doors don’t line up well, but for race car purposes it looks fine.

    S197 2005 Coyote ST3 Build

    Update. I've buffed one quarter panel. Also installed the EPAS, engine, trans, some Koni Sports with Ford K? Springs, and begun the dreadful body harness wiring. There are a lot of grounds and approximately 16 miles of wiring that I don't think I need.I refreshed the engine with valve cover...

    Raybestos Rotors

    Never saw a benefit to the slotted units, but I’ve used Raybestos and Centric blanks with no issues.

    S197 Boss 302

    Have any pics of the Super Coupe? I have an '89; can't imagine the head gaskets lasting long on track.

    S197 FTWMS #50 S197 NASA Super Touring Racecar

    That's all I'm looking for; I just want to know I'll have a pedal to push on after a long straight. These calipers work well but they don't inspire confidence.

    @captdistraction You mentioned anti knock-back springs for the s550 Brembo calipers. Can you share some more info; dimensions, spring weight, and where you had them made? Thanks.

    Experience with LMR/Fluidyne/Ford Performance Radiators?

    Did you end up getting the SVE radiator? Looking for a track review

    Huge brake upgrade for S197 chassis

    SOS, I bought an S550 pedal assembly and I’m not sure how you possibly mated them to the S197. The pedal assembly and the curvature of the firewall are completely different. How did you do it?

    Huge brake upgrade for S197 chassis

    I understand, thank you. Do the s550 pedal electronics plug into the s197 harness? And does the s197 clutch master cylinder work with the s550 pedals?

    S197 2005 Coyote ST3 Build

    Drivetrain purchased.Motor is from a 2014 F150 and looks very clean (on the inside). It’s receiving a new water pump, rear main seal, oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets, and a few other maintenance items.The trans is a Hanlon stage 2 TR3650 with an exedy cerametallic clutch, lightened...

    Huge brake upgrade for S197 chassis

    Thank you for sharing your insight before I installed my engine, I will be doing this.Question: would it not be simpler to just use a bolt through the fire wall with a nut on the inside to hold the pedal box?

    Coyotes and TR3650s

    Thanks for sharing, that's my fear with the 3650. What clutch are you using?As far as upgrading, you might give these guys a call. I've heard good things. https://www.hanlonmotorsports.com/product/05-10-tr-3650-5-speed-transmission-stage-1/

    Coyotes and TR3650s

    Agreed, it’s a lesser of two evils situation. A first gen F150 engine is rated at 380 crank, that’s not far off. I like that 3650 would live in 3rd and 4th and I wouldn’t have to fuss with 5th. I think it’s a waste to put a six speed in a race car. It’s a waste putting any of these in a race car...
